Book Overview

What happens when a group of new money upstarts attempt to take over Palm Beach's most venerable, old guard, club? A battle royale where every rule in the book is thrown out the window.

Labeled 'nouveau entertainers', and worse, this gang, including a rich actor, a bawdy talk show host, two rock stars, and a billionaire rag trader, want what they're told they can't have... and are prepared to pay top dollar for it. But, if that doesn't work, they're going to fight like hell for it.

And before too long it gets nasty...and deadly. That's when Palm Beach homicide detectives, Charlie Crawford and Mort Ott, step in. Turns out they've got a horse in the race, but last thing they want to do is let it show.

"Turner's Palm Beach is a blend of desperate criminals, social climbers, merciless billionaires and surprising heroes," said Publishers Weekly.

"A highly entertaining and amusing ride," according to Kirkus Reviews.

"Taut and efficient," Booklist said, and added, "it's a pleasure to watch craftsmen at work, and that describes the author as well as the cops."

About Tom Turner

A native New Englander, Tom Turner dropped out of college and ran a Vermont bar ... into the ground. Among other ill-advised gambits was hiring Bennington College girls as go-go dancers. After limping back to college to get his diploma, Tom became an advertising copywriter, first in Boston then New York. After ten years of post-Mad Men life, he made a radical change and got a job in commercial real estate. Not long after that he ended up in Palm Beach, buying, renovating and selling houses along with collecting a lot of raw material for his novels. On the side, he wrote Palm Beach Nasty, its sequel, Palm Beach Poison, and a screenplay called Blood Red Sea. While at a wedding a few years later, he fell for the charm of Charleston, South Carolina, and moved there. Recently, wandering Tom moved again. This time, just down the road to Skidaway Island, outside of Savannah, where he just completed a novel which is set there.
